The dominant weight polyhedron conjecture for arbitrary positive-level weights

From papers

Let g\mathfrak{g} be an untwisted affine Kac–Moody Lie algebra, let δ\delta be its null root, and let λP+\lambda\in\mathcal{P}^+ be a dominant integral weight of positive level. For each proper subset JIJ\subsetneq I, let b^J(λ)\widehat b_J(\lambda) denote the corresponding vertex candidate of the dominant weight polyhedron DλD_\lambda. The dominant weight polyhedron conjecture. The vertices of DλD_\lambda are precisely

{b^J(λ)}JI,\{\widehat b_J(\lambda)\}_{J\subsetneq I},

possibly with repetitions, and

Dλ=convQ({b^J(λ)}JI)+Q+(δ).D_\lambda=\operatorname{conv}_{\mathbb{Q}}\left(\{\widehat b_J(\lambda)\}_{J\subsetneq I}\right)+\mathbb{Q}_+(-\delta).

The preceding proposition proves the analogous decomposition for regular dominant weights. The conjecture extends the vertex description and decomposition to arbitrary positive-level dominant weights, including nonregular ones; the source does not state a resolution.
